them.The command also works on individual objects that have had blending modes other 
than Normal applied to overlapping strokes or fills.
Group selected without Isolate Blending option applied (left) and with it applied (right).
To isolate blending modes:
In the Layers palette, target a group, layer, or sublayer containing two or more objects 
to which blending modes are applied. You can also select individual objects with 
overlapping strokes or fills to which different blending modes have been applied.
In the Transparency palette, click Isolate Blending.
About transparency knockouts
You use the Knockout Group option in the Transparency palette to make every object of 
the selected group or layer knock out—that is, visually block out—the other objects in the 
group or layer that it overlays. Only artwork within the selected group or layer is knocked 
out. Objects beneath the selected group or in different layers are still visible relative to the 
group or layer. 
You can also control the interaction of transparent fills and strokes within an object if the 
transparency is applied directly to the fill or stroke in the Appearance palette. To do this, 
select or target the object and then select a Knockout Group option.
Creating transparency knockouts
Selecting the Knockout Group option cycles it through three states: on (check mark), off 
(no mark), and neutral (gray or dash). Use the neutral option when you want to group 
artwork without interfering with the knockout behavior determined by the enclosing 
layer or group. Use the off option when you want to ensure that a layer or a group of trans-
parent objects will never knock each other out. 
Group with Knockout Group option off (left) and on (right).
To knock out objects within a group or layer:
Select the group using the selection tool, or target it in the Layers palette.
Choose Show Options from the Transparency palette menu, if necessary.
